Savannah Chrisley talks Grayson Chrisley growing up
While speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, Savannah Chrisley opened up about how Grayson Chrisley was forced to grow up when his parents left for federal prison.
They had to adjust to being a family unit of three instead of having Todd and Julie Chrisley in charge.
She told the publication, “He had to grow up so fast and I hate it. But at the same time, this whole situation has taught him how cruel the world can be, and how you have to protect yourself. And as cruel as it’s been, he also has kept this softness about him, and he’s in therapy every single week. I just love to see the heart that he has, and how he’s shown up.”
Savannah talked about how proud she is of him and how he shows up when needed.
Grayson isn’t jaded by the world, but knows that keeping his guard up is important.

She said, “He loves sports. And watching him speak about sports, it lights up his whole world.”
While Grayson is doing well, there are still some confusing moments for their youngest sister, Chloe Chrisley. Savannah recently addressed how people call Chloe her niece instead of her sister, which breaks her heart. She was adopted by Todd and Julie Chrisley, making her Savannah and Grayson’s legal sister.
